Rather than calling out right-wing attacks on Harris as racism, pure and simple, reporter Emmanuel Felton on Monday termed them “racial attacks” and situated them as part of “the broader culture war over corporate diversity and affirmative action programs.” For Felton, the story is not that the right wing is responding to Harris with grotesque racism, it’s that “America’s fraught racial politics are set to, once again, take center stage.” The headline on that story was another passive horror, almost putting the onus on Harris rather than on the perpetrators: “Harris’s campaign will have to contend with DEI, culture war attacks”. #Journalism #Politics #Media

Text from article: When Wallnau calls Harris a Jezebel, then, viewers should understand that he is nodding toward his own dreams and prophecies, his claims to have foretold her coming. Such claims are the currency of the apostles and prophets of the New Apostolic Reformation, or NAR, a Christian religious and political movement “driven by theocratic notions of total societal dominion, including the end of democracy as we’ve known it,” as leading NAR experts Frederick Clarkson and André Gagné have described it. As within the wider Christian nationalism movement, NAR prophets encourage followers to “think of themselves as soldiers in a cosmic conflict,” as religion scholar and former Christian evangelical pastor Bradley Onishi has said. The stakes here are higher than mere elections; it’s about who prevails in an apocalyptic battle. “When you explain it that way to folks,” Onishi recently told NBC News, “you’re able to prime them, not only for action, but I think for extreme measures.”
